the reason michael bloomberg endorsed obama is because he thinks obama will do more to prevent climate change. and there lies the difference between the two men and what would change if obama is defeated tomorrow. you see, romney doesn't talk about renewables as much as he talks about the need to become energy self-sufficient in north america by producing and using more fossil fuels. he knows how irrelevant renewables really are to self-sufficiency within our lifetime. i bet you offline he thinks it's a cynical gambit. a romney administration will immediately give the boot to the anti fossil fuel ideologues in the epa, which will make so it that we don't need to commit to making coal plants 100% free. that's why you should buy peabody, arch and aep real fast. if you actually think that romney is going to win. then you can expect that we'll immediately exploit federal lands for more drilling, which is a reason to buy halliburton and schlumberger. it won't mean as much to them. the natural gas stocks, i think they'll actually rally quickly under the perception that romney will go less so
